Multiple Unwanted Profiles

[John Mitchell]

The folders are user accounts, the "all users" folder is
always there, often a "default user" and obviously every
time you add a new user/guest of any type, you will have
more folders added.
Now we have clarified the situation, to remove unwanted
accounts is done through the User Accounts applet in the
control panel. Never try to delete any folders from the
D&S folder! They are protected and hard to remove anyway,
they are all system folders and corruption of your
opperating system will result if you do remove any files
found in the D&S folder. A program called TweakUI-XP will
help you to configure a lot of XP settings more easily.
Available from MS and is a free download:) Hope this info
helps you:)

This laptop only has one user (besides the admin) logging onto it. Any
ideas why a new profile with his login name and domain name would be
created.
Thanks.
